Dynamically Scoring Rhymes with Phonetic Features and Sequence Alignment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We present a formalized rhyme function for machine approximation of human rhyme. Words are represented as sequences of phonemic features that facilitate the use of alignment mechanisms to compute different types of phonemic similarities between words. The rhyme function computes a weighted hierarchical combination of these similarities, with the weights determined using an evolutionary approach. We present empirical and qualitative analyses that demonstrate the rhyme function’s ability to successfully detect rhyme, and we briefly discuss the model’s linguistic basis and its resulting generality.

A New Algorithm for the Alignment of Phonetic Sequences
Alignment of phonetic sequences is a necessary step in many applications in computational phonology. After discussing various approaches to phonetic alignment, I present a new algorithm that combines a number of techniques developed for sequence comparison with a scoring scheme for computing phonetic similarity on the basis of multivalued features. The algorithm performs better on cognate align...

The computation of the optimal phonetic alignment and the phonetic similarity between words is an important step in many applications in computational phonology, including dialectometry. After discussing several related algorithms, I present a novel approach to the problem that employs a scoring scheme for computing phonetic similarity between phonetic segments on the basis of multivalued artic...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Internal and Imperfect Rhymes in Rap Lyrics
Imperfect and internal rhymes are two important features in rap music often ignored in the music information retrieval community. We develop a method of scoring potential rhymes using a probabilistic model based on phoneme frequencies in rap lyrics. We use this scoring scheme to automatically identify internal and line-final rhymes in song lyrics and demonstrate the performance of this method c...

We present an application of ABS algorithms for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). The Markov decision process (MDP) based model leads to a linear programming problem (LPP), whose solution is linked to a suggested alignment. The important features of our work include the facility of alignment of multiple sequences simultaneously and no limit for the length of the sequences. Our goal here is to ...
